BACKGROUND As he prepared his 1943 memorandum for the United States Office of Strategic Services, Dr. Henry A. Murray recognized he was severely handicapped by deficits in both amount and reliability of the information available to him.1 He was charged with providing an analysis of Adolf Hitler’s personality and predicting his behavior.2 However, the United States government knew little about Adolf Hitler.3 He had leapt into the world’s spotlight from profound obscurity, leaving behind a personal history that was murky at best, and so, leaving governments and news organizations frantically scrambling to assemble dossiers.4 Filling in blank spaces entailed using some highly questionable sources that, despite ongoing corrections over the intervening decades, cloud the history of Adolf Hitler to this day. Among those sources was a scattering of Germans who had fled Hitler’s Germany seeking refuge in other nations. Some of them sold stories about Hitler and the eager buyers were often duped. Some such accounts were fictional, many were grossly embellished, and others were frankly biased. For example, one prominent “authority,” indeed the primary source apart from Hitler himself (in Mein Kampf) available to Dr. Murray about Hitler’s Vienna years (1906-1913), was Reinhold Hanisch.5 Hanisch and Hitler, who lived in the same men’s hostel, formed a loose business partnership.6 Hitler painted postcards of Vienna scenes that Hanisch peddled to tourists.7 The proceeds were to be divided evenly.8 Hitler, convinced that Hanisch was cheating him, filed a criminal 1 HENRY A.

Since 1945, a massive volume of Hitler data has accumulated which attains reasonable reliability largely through its redundancy. This material corrects earlier accounts and adds significant details, but still fails to paint a satisfying portrait of Hitler. The fact that his cognitive abilities were at genius level must be stipulated. The force of his presence is well documented. But which of his specific abilities exceeded human norms and which were within them? What specific motivations were operative at specific junctures in his life? What gratified, what repelled him? What were his personal vulnerabilities? Despite innumerable investigations and speculative essays, there are few satisfactory answers to the many such questions still outstanding. And, of course, inability to adequately describe Hitler’s personality, makes discovering the genesis of it quite impossible. There is sufficient evidence to establish Hitler experienced an adolescent rebellion against authority: overt conflict with his father and his teachers, and passive contempt for the bureaucratic establishments underlying civic organization.12 Hitler’s rebellion was relatively intense and certainly affected his outlook and behavior through his feckless, or at best aimless, Vienna years. II. MILITARY SERVICE Despite this adolescent revulsion, maturation released Hitler from that demon’s hold on his motives and behavior. This is best evidenced by his record of military service (age 25-29).13 Hitler went through four years of trench warfare; he was never disciplined, 9 Id. at 68. 10 Id. 11 See id.

Military service, especially arduous and lengthy service, provides one of the most sensitive and reliable litmus tests available for detecting structural personality defects.19 Hitler unquestionably passed the test.20 This negates the many analyses of his personality which projected into his future deficits that may have marked his Vienna years.21 His adult personality was extremely unusual,22 but there is no evidence that any specific ghost from his past significantly encumbered its adult expression.23 III. ANALYTIC TOOLS AND METHODS Dr. Murray attempted to explain Hitler’s behavior and predict his future actions using the tools available a half-century ago.24 Those psychoanalytic theories have been 14 HESTON & HESTON, supra note 8, at 69. 15 See MASER, supra note 13, at 88. 16 Id. 17 Id. at 87-88. 18 HESTON & HESTON, supra note 8, at 69. 19 Id. 20 Id. 21 Id.at 70. 22 Id. at 71. 23 Id. 24 See MURRAY, supra note 1, at 2. 123 RUTGERS JOURNAL OF LAW AND RELIGION VOLUME 12 FALL 2010 PART 1 largely discarded because they proved untestable and, in clinical practice, too often led to faulty assessments and conclusions.25 Today’s tools are not

  • American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler's Death
    American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler’s Death Undergraduate Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with honors research distinction in History in the Undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Kelsey Mullen The Ohio State University November 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Alice Conklin, Department of History Project Mentor: Doctoral Candidate Sarah K. Douglas, Department of History American Intelligence and the Question of Hitler’s Death 2 Introduction The fall of Berlin marked the end of the European theatre of the Second World War. The Red Army ravaged the city and laid much of it to waste in the early days of May 1945. A large portion of Hitler’s inner circle, including the Führer himself, had been holed up in the Führerbunker underneath the old Reich Chancellery garden since January of 1945. Many top Nazi Party officials fled or attempted to flee the city ruins in the final moments before their destruction at the Russians’ hands. When the dust settled, the German army’s capitulation was complete. There were many unanswered questions for the Allies of World War II following the Nazi surrender. Invading Russian troops, despite recovering Hitler’s body, failed to disclose this fact to their Allies when the battle ended. In September of 1945, Dick White, the head of counter intelligence in the British zone of occupation, assigned a young scholar named Hugh Trevor- Roper to conduct an investigation into Hitler’s last days in order to refute the idea the Russians promoted and perpetuated that the Führer had escaped.1 Major Trevor-Roper began his investigation on September 18, 1945 and presented his conclusions to the international press on November 1, 1945.

  • Whose Hi/Story Is It? the U.S. Reception of Downfall
    Whose Hi/story Is It? The U.S. Reception of Downfall David Bathrick Before I address the U.S. media response to the fi lm Downfall, I would like to mention a methodological problem that I encountered time and again when researching this essay: whether it is possible to speak of reception in purely national terms in this age of globalization, be it a foreign fi lm or any other cultural artifact. Generally speaking, Bernd Eichinger’s large-scale production Downfall can be considered a success in America both fi nancially and critically. On its fi rst weekend alone in New York City it broke box-offi ce records for the small repertory movie theater Film Forum, grossing $24,220, despite its consider- able length, some two and a half hours, and the fact that it was shown in the original with subtitles. Nationally, audience attendance remained unusually high for the following twelve weeks, compared with average fi gures for other German fi lms made for export markets.1 Downfall, which grossed $5,501,940 to the end of October 2005, was an unequivocal box-offi ce hit. One major reason for its success was certainly the content. Adolf Hit- ler, in his capacity as star of the silver screen, has always been a suffi cient This article originally appeared in Das Böse im Blick: Die Gegenwart des Nationalsozialismus im Film, ed. Margrit Frölich, Christian Schneider, and Karsten Visarius (Munich: edition text und kritik, 2007). 1. The only more recent fi lm to earn equivalent revenue was Nirgendwo in Afrika.

Para ejemplificar dicha relación Palabras clave: memoria, culpabilidad, conmemoración, narrativa, nazismo. Introducción El recuerdo en las sociedades humanas tiene la función de preservar la memoria y, a través de ella, reproducir hechos que nos alienten a encontrar una identidad dentro de un grupo social determinado. La construcción de una identidad colectiva a partir de episodios selectivos es lo que llamamos memoria. Gracias a la memoria, podemos configurar una personalidad y ubicarnos –como individuos– dentro de una familia, una clase social o la so- ciedad en general. Por medio de la manipulación de la memoria se constru- yen las historias patrias y los grandes relatos metahistóricos, construyendo una memoria colectiva cuyos alcances pretenden servir de recuerdos gene- rales para una colectividad determinada. Conservar una memoria con algu- nos recuerdos –escogidos intencionalmente– que influyan para construir tanto las colectividades como las individualidades, favorecen la recreación de un espacio de representación y de expresión de la identidad. 11 Takwá / Núm. 10 / Otoño 2006 / pp. 11-22 Frente a la memoria, el recuerdo es la remembranza personal de epi- sodios individuales o colectivos.

  • Friday Film Fest Series to Argue with This Assessment
    THE GERMAN SOCIETY’S Screening Hitler – Allen Krumm “Wir sind mit Hitler noch lange nicht fertig.” It is difficult Friday Film Fest Series to argue with this assessment. Why? Perhaps because, as Joachim Fest notes, “History records no phenomenon like him.” In the introduction of his biography, Fest continues: “…No one evoked so much rejoicing, hysteria and expectation of salvation as he; no one so much hate. No one else produced, in a solitary course lasting only a few years, such incredible accelerations in the pace of history. No one else so changed the state of the world and left behind such a wake of ruins as he did.” Jacob Burckhardt said that to be a good historian “…one has to be able to read.” For the present generation his aphorism might be amended to “one has to be able to watch.” People get much of their history from the movies and a prodigious sub-genre of that cinematic history comprises films about Hitler. Notwithstanding his negatives, der Führer disposes of more than a little box office magic, rivaling sex, car crashes and special effects as an audience aphrodisiac and as an enduring source of fascination. Perhaps there is a belief, ala Putzi Hanfstaengel, that if enough is written and filmed about him, and enough people read the books and see the films, future generations will be inoculated; they will be done with Der Untergang him, and a recurrence of such a time will be rendered impossible. Credits: Director: Oliver Hirschbiegel Script: Bernd Eichinger An enthusiastic kinophile, Hitler would be pleased by (based on Joachim Fest’s Der Untergang and Traudl Junge’s Bis zur the number and range of productions inspired by his letzten Stunde) Lebenslauf .
